Epilogue of ICAO AVSEC Symposium 2018

One of the most important supply chain security event in this year, ICAO AVSEC Symposium 2018 comes to an end. During the AVSEC week, over 900 worldwide national and industry representatives from 192 member states 2 Special Administrative Regions, EU, WCO, UN and more participated in Montréal, the Headquarter of International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for reviewing, discussing and sharing the latest trend of aviation security. Such fruitful and remarkable journey could not be done without members’ prolonged support.

The president of SCSA, Mr. Jimmy Pang, was honoured to be invited for holding a presentation right after the key note speaker in the first day of the event. Mr. Pang talked on the topic “Industry Approach for Cross Border Re-Export Safety and Security and Aviation Threats” in front of the representatives. He covered on the situation, as well as challenges, of Hong Kong, saying about the aviation safety and security matters under the cross-border re-export environment. He highlighted the Li-CAT programme, reflected that different organisations are taking balance between business concerns and rules and regulations. He shared a practical case of how logistics service providers in Hong Kong are able to tell the integrity of a cargo without ‘opening the box for checking’, which initiated interest among the audience. Some national representatives came to us after the speech for having further exchange. For more details about the presentation, you can check out in the following link:

After Jimmy’s speech, speakers from all over the world with various expertise, such as representatives from technological industry and screening service providers, staged and gave their insights. There were also sessions that were discussing topics including security, screening techniques, implementation and efficiency, and more. Having chance to hearing from thoughts and knowledge of experts all around the world sure is a great learning experience. It will certainly become part of our fuel on RACSF issue.

We also managed to meet a lot of professionals in our booth. Professionals from Africa, Russia, Dubai, and other Asian countries representatives from authorities engaged with fruitful conversations and exchange idea with us. Most of them showed interest on current situation in Hong Kong, especially on the topic of Lithium Battery handling. They perceived Li-CAT programme as a risk assessment approach that is capable to meet requirements altogether. Moreover, they were keen on develop a network with us, as they kindly invited us to become part of their conference in the future. We value every opportunities of studying others’ best practices, as well as sharing our accumulation to others.

Once again, many thanks to ICAO, for inviting us to become a part of such wonderful event. We also appreciate our sponsors and members on supporting us. Our journey to Montréal is now over, and we will keep you in touch on our coming actions.

國際民航組織AVSEC 研討會後記

本年度其中最具影響力的全球性供應鏈安全活動國際民航組織AVSEC 研討會經已完滿結束。900 多名來自於192 個契約國、歐盟、世界海關組織以及聯合國等的業界代表聚首一堂，於國際民用航空組織（ICAO）總部討論和分享有關航空安全的最新趨勢。本會在此謹多謝會員的長期支持成就了這次獲益良多的旅程。

本會主席彭先生很榮幸地獲邀作為首日的第一位講者。他以”Industry Approach for Cross Border Re-Export Safety and Security and Aviation Threats” 為題發表演說。在演講中，他講述了現時香港在跨境轉口的航空安全和保安所面臨的挑戰。他亦提到Li-CAT 培訓課程，以此為例，他介紹了民間組織為因應商業考慮和政策法規之間取得的平衡。他分享了香港的物流服務供應商如何在「沒有開箱檢查」的情況下得悉貨物有否誤報的實例。這些議題引起了聽眾對興趣，隨後部份國家代表更和我們進一步交流。有關演說的更多詳細資料，請查看以下鏈接：

彭先生的演講結束後，其他來自不同國家，不同領域的專家一一上台演講。各國代表當中不乏科研技術公司和保安檢查服務供應商的代表，討論的議題涵蓋保安、保安檢查的技術，實施和效率等。我們從這些演講中受益匪淺，相信這次的交流會促進我們推廣保安及安全的信息。

我們於參展期間亦與一些來自非洲、俄羅斯、迪拜的專業人士以及專業機構的代表作交流。他們大多都對香港目前的情況和鋰電池處理方面十分感興趣。他們尤其對Li-CAT 饒有興味，認為這一個能夠滿足大部份安全要求的風險評估機制。此外，我們與來自世界各地的代表締結友誼，他們亦誠邀我們參加未來舉辦的活動。我們重視向他人學習的每一個機會，同時亦樂於與他人分享我們的經驗。

再一次，非常感謝國際民航組織邀請我們參加這個一年一度的盛事，亦同時感謝贊助商和會員的支持。我們在加拿大的旅程現已閉幕，接下來我們將讓您了解更多來年即將舉行的活動。
